| Obverse description | Central circular field bearing a multi-line Arabic Kufic inscription arranged in four horizontal registers, conveying the Islamic profession of faith and the ruler's titles. The central legend is enclosed within a plain inner circle, surrounded by a dotted border. An outer marginal legend in Arabic script runs around the full circumference of the coin within the border, partially worn on the irregular flan. The overall design follows the classical Fatimid-influenced epigraphic dinar tradition, with no figural imagery, the entire decorative program consisting exclusively of religious and dynastic inscriptions in relief. |
